Girls. We can be the best of friends and the worst of enemies. I find myself gravitating towards having more guy friends because of how annoying I find the problems of girls. What's worse though is that I cant say that I don't understand girls trivial problems since sadly I am one, and also find myself being just as annoying as those I distance myself from. Here are the four annoyances that I as well as many other girls commit on a daily basis. Were not perfect, but there sure are some things I wish we could change about our stereotypical gender.
1. We're a bottle of emotions.
Yes, I said we. I too am a female and will not deny that our gender is a mess of just bipolar feelings. I can’t exclude myself from this group because I too have my moments. However, I don’t like living with others who are just as emotional as me. It's chaotic, I feel like I landed in an episode of "Days of Our Lives." Slowly dying on the inside from how pitiful the current argument has escalated just because of another’s sensitive feelings.
2. We're lazy.
If I evaluate my day, I realize just how much I waste it on lazy leisure activities. My floor is covered in clothes yet instead of picking them up I spend two hours lying in bed scrolling through Instagram while beating myself down for not possessing this mermaid butt that’s all over my account feed. As women, we don’t use our time wisely. The notorious “just three minutes” quote is a perfect example for when we get dressed. I say I’ll be done in three minutes and get done in 10, my roommate could say three minutes as well and be done in 30. It’s a sour situation. Yet, I can’t complain because I’m doing the same thing.
3. We always have to be right.
I don’t know if it’s in my jeans or if it’s just chemically programmed into every female, but if I feel a fight coming on, I will take it to my grave that I am in the right. As women, we don’t let things go easily, it’s just not in our nature. I actually took my pulse after a heated debate over which was better -- ranch or barbecue -- and had to sit down to calm myself. Previous roommates have proven to me that sometimes I just have to pick and choose my battles, but let it be warned that if you choose to do what I just recommended, then know that you will set fire to that debate and let it burn for days just to satisfy that desire to win.
4. We over-analyze the little things.
This can be both good and bad. When we finally are accurate and proven correct on our one percent prediction, we ride that victory around our lives until we can gain another one. A simple "OK" text with a period from a guy could be the difference between him being annoyed with you or him being busy trying to drive on the highway, and then of course throw in option three that he’s actually with another girl right now which means you need to blow up his phone pissed off or drive over and catch him in the act. Either way a girl’s mind usually has three stories they’ll make up and we will always suspect the one that is most farfetched. I’ve done it, my friends have done it and it makes for a great story down the road. Yet, in that moment when your analyzing and checking twitter, Facebook and Snapchat for answers, it really makes you feel as though your borderline crazy in the moment.
Though there are a ton of things that girls do that annoy me to the ends of the earth, I can’t live without them. They are the only ones who will stand by me and understand my crazy antics because no guy is ever going to take the time to calculate how you went from simply brushing your teeth to full out crying. Men’s minds just don’t work that way. The female species are like puzzle pieces; we need one another to make sense of the big picture. Men are just there trying to figure out what the pictures saying.
